Who are you [me]?What do you see?
Just a journal. Don’t read. Especially you, moderators!

What do you see? Close your eyes and describe it to me. Breathe. Take a second and breathe. Don’t tell me what’s in your head. What did you see? You can’t tell me, can you? The image appears and then it leaves. You’re trying to find it so desperately. You can’t think of what you wanted to see. You saw words. You closed your eyes- maybe- but then opened them to more words. Did you want to see words? Of course you didn’t. You wanted to see the cliff side under an orange-stained sky. You wanted to see birds flying up so high. In the distance, the ocean rests peacefully, brushed with a grey dye. You wanted to see a dog come running by.
“Fetch the stick!” You would say with a smile. That is what you wanted to see.
No. You are exploring the depths of a never-ending jungle. ‘Swoosh! Swoosh!’ is the sound your blade would make. Where will you go? What path will you take? Whoa! Is that a green snake? What are you doing? You are going to make a mistake. I don’t think so. You hunger for adventure. You thirst for knowledge. The only way to survive is to live with out bondage.
Maybe that’s not it. Every breath that you take, if you have been counting- have you been counting? You don’t know. Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t. Some of you may lie and boldly say a number. 10. That’s average. What did you see? You still don’t know. Or you still don’t know?
Close your eyes when you spell the word ‘now.’ while they are shut, take a total of five breaths. focus on the passage of air through your oral and chest cavities. consciously imagine following the concoction of gaseous molecules that you have just willingly let pass through you. among those, is oxygen. Normally, you need oxygen. do you? do you really? some believe that oxygen plays a large role in ones inevitable death. their explanation: carbon monoxide binds better with the hemoglobin in the blood as opposed to the oxygen molecules. carbon monoxide causes an acute, negative alteration to the cells in your body, thus leading to imminent death. Oxygen does the same thing but over an extended period of time. do you believe this? are you thinking what I am thinking? could this mean that there are gaseous molecules that exist but haven’t been discovered- either on earth or in the depths of space? gaseous molecules that our fragile human bodies will eventually adapt to- evolve to accepting, simply because they serve the same purpose oxygen does, but allows us to survive for a much longer period of time? What if this is true?
No Other Way. As your eyes close, take your first breath. There is no other way to train self-control, but to understand the processes of your own mind. Control what you think. Don’t let your thoughts control what you do. Understand how you think; we are all the same. Through the observation of patterns, you will understand everything. You are beginning to know how I think. Did you let your self breathe? New Observations Work. Doubt yourself when it comes to believing you will fail. Wait.
Your still inside your own had. Your phone in your hand. A glazed look in your eyes. Is it dark? Is it day? Did you notice my mistake? What did you think about? What do you agree with? Why are you here? No. It’s not bad that you are here, but have you thought of why? Did you come to escape? Are you bored of your friends? Like me, do you feel like this world is a little too harsh? Not for you. But for others. All you want to do is help? Perhaps you came to this place to recharge. Your mind connects with the minds of others. Are you thinking like me? Are you me? You must be me. For a moment you are. These are my words. What words did you give me? You see. You process. You interpret. You react. Did you do this correctly? Did you make a mistake? Before you leave, know you have taken a fraction of who I am. Who are you? Do you know anymore? You have just transferred my thoughts into the thoughts of your own. Did you do this on accident?
Do you know what you saw?
I’ll tell you what you saw. You saw what I see- a bunch of words on a blank, white screen. I think.
